Day 1
Welcome to Loetschental Valley — the perfect location for an immersive retreat surrounded by nature
Our retreat is based in a pristine alpine village — we will stay in an authentic historical hotel that, due to its design and natural surroundings, feels like home. It is more than 100 years old, inviting you to experience a relic of the past while also giving you a modern touch and a high-quality setting for a comfortable stay. Loetschental Valley is a resourceful place for human beings in search of inspiration, relaxation and communing with nature. Majestic summits seem to embrace the surrounding villages nestled in larch forests. Tumbling streams and tranquil lakes add the finishing touches to this idyllic decor. The village we will be based in is situated in a peaceful setting surrounded by these majestic summits, blessed with a panoramic view of the valley. This wild region is quickly and easily accessible by car or Swiss public transport, but at the same time is also far from stress and noise.

• Forest and nature therapy walks (Shinrin Yoku) in a secret forest
